Bias: Filing an Incident Report

Anyone who directly experiences or witnesses bias activity (or discovers past bias activity) on the UMass Amherst campus or in an area that impacts the community is strongly encouraged to report the activity via the Incident Statement form. We ask that you make a report even if you do not know the perpetrator (for example, you find racist or sexist graffiti or images, or experience anonymous harassing behavior such as catcalls). Reporting helps the university coordinate support-related resources for individuals who may have been impacted by bias activity and collect data to help us monitor the campus climate.
